But Aurora knew that the cause this time was a bit unique.
She chuckled.
"It’s not going to be so easy for you to get what you want this time, Adela," Aurora whispered in a low voice.
Queen Ella wanted a daughter in law whom she could control so that her position and authority would not be challenged. If not for that, there was no way Queen Ella tried to threaten Aurora in the past.
But Aurora was not afraid of Queen Ella and chose to challenge upfront instead.
From then on, Aurora knew that it would be hard for her to get the full support of Queen Ella. But Aurora couldn’t possibly show her weakness because it would only put her in more difficult position.
It was also because of this reasons that Queen Ella didn’t stop Crown Prince Edward when he wanted to be with Adela instead of Aurora.
In Aurora’s opinion, it was really stupid.
But Queen Ella basically has the power in the Royal Palace in her hand. She would not be wiling to hand it over to anyone else even if that person is her own daughter in law. Because of that, Queen Ella and Aurora didn’t really get along with each other.
As for Queen Rachel?
The Red Kingdom hadn’t selected the crown prince yet because they have to pick the most suitable one. The Red Kingdom’s King might favor and like Queen Rachel greatly, but he would not give the crown prince’s position just because of this reason.
He needed legitimate reason to give the crown prince’s position.
The power in the Red Kingdom was more divided for a reason.
Since Prince Charles didn’t like studying and his result was really bad, Queen Rachel would need another reason to strengthen Prince Charles’ factions.
And another method to gain better supporter was through marriage.
Queen Rachel would definitely want to find someone who was capable enough to be the daughter in law and the princess.
Adela?
Marriage between cousins were indeed possible, but with Adela’s result so far, she would not be the best choice. Moreover, it would be rather strange to bring the princess back to the Red Kingdom after marrying them out.
If Prince Charles really wanted to bring Adela with him, it would not be completely impossible.
After all, Adela’s background as the duke’s daughter was still very strong.
The next problem would be the matter of her engagement with Crown Prince Edward. How could a crown princess leave to another kingdom so easily?
It would not be allowed.
Another breaking engagement events?
Aurora chuckled.
In that case, Crown Prince Edward’s name might truly be written in history as a prince who couldn’t make up his mind and break his own engagement twice. That would be quite a record to be written.
If it was possible, Aurora really wanted to see it with her own eyes.
But it would be difficult.
Aurora would be chased by many people if she were to go back to the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City. For her own safety, it would be better for her not to go back at all.
After reading through the letter once more, Aurora put it away.
She wanted to know how Adela would make her choice but that would have to wait for the next report. She was sure that whether Adela wanted it or not, she would be forced to make her choices soon.
Prince Charles couldn’t stay in the Red Kingdom for a long time.
Queen Ella would want to make sure Adela listened to her.
Lastly, the Yellow Kingdom’s King would not let such an incident alone without investigating properly.
When thinking about this, Aurora chuckled once more.
The Yellow Kingdom would definitely be very lively.
Ah, happiness can indeed be built from someone else’s misery, especially if it was someone whom she didn’t have good relationship with.
’I have never been a good girl, Adela.’
Provoking her again and again, making use of those ’tools’ around her and made things difficult for Aurora, what makes her think that Aurora would stay silent and do nothing?
She was not a saint.
Aurora was also not someone who would stay silent when she was being provoked.
She knew very well that from the very beginning, she simply couldn’t be bothered with it.
’Speaking of which, Marquis Hans did a good job.’
To be honest, this was done somewhat on a whim by Aurora. She knew that the mines problem will definitely escalate further and might even result in a war and there were only a few territories that could produce weapons. These people had been pitted by Aurora before because they only wanted profit.
And Aurora was also too lazy to deal with these people who only thought about money and profit.
Since these nobles only wanted immediate profit, she helped them to make the agreement.
Of course, with some additional clauses.
As for whether the Yellow Kingdom could handle it or not, that was another matter altogether and Aurora was too lazy to follow through the fate of these nobles.
Among these nobles, the only one who was a bit different was Marquis Hans’ old brother. He also wanted to sell the weapons but in a moderate amount and also planned to make more workshops because the previous ones were outdated. Besides, his territory’s main produce were not weapons and the Yellow Kingdom’s King would not pressure him too much.
He had vast territory and located at the border, this was the reason why there were still small weapon workshops there.
After some contemplation, Aurora made a deal.
She wanted higher profit from the trade and will sell valuable information in exchange for him having his daughter to trouble Adela.
At first, he was hesitant.
After all, Adela is favored by Crown Prince Edward at that time and the wind seemed to be pushing Aurora down.
So Aurora took a step back and let them make a move after this news was confirmed.
